A frightened female we believe to be actress Bonnie Somerville can be heard pleading with a 911 dispatcher for an ambulance -- just moments after her friend was shot in the back after a Hollywood party last month.
Somerville's injured companion, Walter Stewart, was taken to a local hospital and eventually released -- the suspect fled the scene and has yet to be caught.

3. dispatcher was horrific. did not maintain contact...should have asked about breathing, size of wound, calmed the woman down..the woman did the right thing by constantly reassuring the victim....this dispatcher sounded like he was talking with a 2 year old who kept asking for ice cream. A disgrace. glad I don't live in la.

5. I agree with the previous comments. That 911 operator was rude, disrepectful, and totally unprofessional. I don't know that he should be dismissed, but he should be reprimanded and sent to training again because he obviously forgot how to question callers, assess injuries and calm the caller. He was down right rude and unsympathetic.

7. The 911 operator sounded a little defensive, like she was disturbing him or something. He needs to learn to have some frigging patience regarding the people he talks to.
